President Barack Obama has worked long and hard at negotiating a settlement with Iran in conjunction with European Union.  If successful, it will go a long way to restore the relationship with Iran that deteriorated when Republicans overthrew a democratically elected government the to enable Britain\u2019s control of Iran\u2019s Oil.  It can prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.  To undermine that, Republicans want to impose sanctions on Iran now, virtually assuring war in the future.  To that end Speaker John \u201cAgent Orange\u201d Boehner (R-OH) has invited Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, to address Congress and request sanctions.  A prominent liberal Jew, Philip Weiss has an excellent idea regarding that visit. <\/p>\n

A lot of the commentary on the shocking\/outrageous\/inappropriate\/unprecedented\/ dangerous invitation from the Republican leadership to Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress about our Iran policy, thereby undermining Obama\u2019s negotiations, has said that Netanyahu shouldn\u2019t have accepted the invitation or the Republicans shouldn\u2019t have invited him. A couple of liberal Jewish organizations, for instance,<\/font> are pleading with Congress to delay the speech<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n

But they did invite him. And he did accept the invitation, for March.<\/font><\/p>\n

The Republicans and neocons and Netanyahu have all taken action. But our side is being passive.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is the real challenge to all those who don\u2019t want another war in the Middle East: Tell your congressperson not to undermine our president\u2019s efforts to strike a deal with Iran. Tell your congressperson not to attend the speech. That\u2019s right. Tell your congressperson to give Benjamin Netanyahu the cold shoulder, lest<\/font> he lead our country to war<\/a>, or undermine the American president on his efforts to strike a deal with Iran.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Butcher Ben has been lobbying for a US attack on Iran, because Iran has threatened Israel.  Iran lacks the capability to make good those threats.  Butcher Ben also wants Israel to remain the only illegal nuclear power in the near east.  For a foreign leader to be invited lobby Congress to undermine  the President\u2019s foreign policy is unprecedented and seditious.  I urge you to tell your Congress critter to boycott Netanyahu\u2019s appearance.  I also would consider it appropriate for them to show Netanyahu their back, because of the total disrespect he is showing this nation by participating in this Republican scheme.<\/font><\/p>\n
